Our specific performance in C02 emissions
(the amount of C02 emissions per hectolitre of
beer brewed) has improved from 10.9 kg C02/
hectolitres in 2006 to 10.5 kgC02/hectolitres in
2007 in line with our target. Given the increases
in volume and acquisition, our total carbon dioxide
emissions have increased from 1,510 ktonnes
in 2006 to 1,670 ktonnes in 2007 (including our
malting plants).
The specific thermal energy consumption - the
amount of heat needed to brew one hectolitre of
beer - has decreased from 103 MJ/hl to 98 MJ/hl,
meeting the target for 2007 amongst others, as a
result of the activities mentioned above.
As a result of the activities described above, our
specific electricity consumption - the amount of
electricity needed to brew one hectolitre of beer -
has decreased from 9.46 kWh/hl to 9.31 kWh/hl,
which is close to the target of 9.3 kWh/hl that we
set for 2007, amongst others.
